 sliding seats ( 2 ), wherein the sliding seats ( 2 ) are slidably installed on the sliding frames ( 1 ), one or two sliding seats ( 2 ) are arranged on the sliding frames ( 1 ), and the sliding seats ( 2 ) are positioned on two sides of the limiting baffles ( 12 ) respectively under the situation that two sliding seats are arranged; 
 positioning devices, wherein the positioning devices are installed on the sliding seats ( 2 ) to be used for positioning the sliding seats ( 2 ) when the sliding seats ( 2 ) slide to a position above the locking holes ( 13 ); 
 connecting-rod devices, wherein one end of each connecting-rod device is rotatably connected to the corresponding sliding seat ( 2 ) and is positioned above the corresponding positioning device; 
 object carrying rods ( 51 ), wherein one end of each object carrying rod ( 51 ) is rotatably connected to the other end of the corresponding connecting-rod device; and 
 fixing lock hooks ( 61 ), wherein each fixing lock hook ( 61 ) is rotatably installed at the other end of the corresponding object carrying rod ( 51 ) to be used for being inserted into the corresponding locking hole ( 13 ) when the sliding seats ( 2 ) abut against the limiting baffles ( 12 ), and the fixing lock hooks ( 61 ) lock the object carrying rods ( 51 ); wherein 
 when the sliding seats ( 2 ) slide to the position above the locking holes ( 13 ), the object carrying rods ( 51 ) are lifted and lowered by means of the connecting-rod devices; when the object carrying rods ( 51 ) are lowered to one side of a car, the connecting-rod devices loosen the positioning device, and the positioning devices are inserted into the locking holes ( 13 ) to lock the sliding seats ( 2 ); and when the object carrying rods ( 51 ) are lifted to the sliding frames ( 1 ), the connecting-rod devices jack up the positioning devices, the positioning devices are separated from the locking holes ( 13 ), and the positioning devices loosen the sliding seats ( 2 ). 
 
     
     
       2. The liftable luggage carrier on a car roof according to  claim 1 , wherein sliding grooves ( 11 ) are provided on the sliding frames ( 1 ), and the sliding seats ( 2 ) are slidably inserted into the sliding grooves ( 11 ). 
     
     
       3. The liftable luggage carrier on a car roof according to  claim 2 , wherein several sliding wheels ( 21 ) are installed at bottoms of the sliding seats ( 2 ), and the sliding wheels ( 21 ) are movably inserted into the sliding grooves ( 11 ). 
     
     
       4. The liftable luggage carrier on a car roof according to  claim 2 , wherein limiting sliding blocks ( 511 ) are arranged on two sides of each object carrying rod ( 51 ), and the limiting sliding blocks ( 511 ) are movably inserted into the sliding grooves ( 11 ). 
     
     
       5. The liftable luggage carrier on a car roof according to  claim 1 , wherein the connecting-rod devices comprise:
 first connecting rods ( 41 ), wherein one end of each first connecting rod ( 41 ) is rotatably installed on the corresponding sliding seat ( 2 ) and is positioned at a top of the corresponding positioning device; 
 second connecting rods ( 42 ), wherein one end of each second connecting rod ( 42 ) is rotatably installed on the corresponding sliding seat ( 2 ) and is positioned on one side of the corresponding first connecting rod ( 41 ); 
 third connecting rods ( 43 ), wherein two ends of each third connecting rod ( 43 ) are rotatably connected to the corresponding first connecting rod ( 41 ) and the corresponding second connecting rod ( 42 ) respectively, and the object carrying rods ( 51 ) are fixed on the third connecting rods ( 43 ); and 
 tension devices, wherein two ends of each tension device are connected to the corresponding first connecting rod ( 41 ) and the corresponding second connecting rod ( 42 ) respectively, and the tension devices comprise air tension springs ( 46 ) or tension springs ( 44 ). 
 
     
     
       6. The liftable luggage carrier on a car roof according to  claim 5 , wherein the positioning devices comprise:
 first lock hooks ( 31 ), wherein the first lock hooks ( 31 ) are rotatably installed on the sliding seats ( 2 ), and a top of each first lock hook ( 31 ) is positioned at one end of the corresponding first connecting rod ( 41 );
